SUBE Card

Once you get to Buenos Aires, you will quickly realize that the best way to get around is by public transport. Buenos Aires has an amazing network of buses and subways which you can use to quickly travel around the city.

The first step, however, is to get your SUBE card. SUBE cards are the means of paying for fares on Buenos Aires’s buses, subways, and railway. You are only able to take advantage of the subsidized transit fares through the use of these plastic cards — the size of credit cards — that easily fit in your wallet.

You can get a SUBE Card at hundreds of locations throughout the city, including major post offices such as the Correo Argentino. In other shops or kioscos, you will see signs with the “SUBE” logo on them. This means that you can buy or recharge your SUBE card at that location.

The government has a specific website — http://www.sube.gob.ar/ — which lists all of the locations where you can buy and recharge your SUBE card.

You will need to bring your passport or other national identity card document with you when you go to purchase your SUBE card. The cost currently stands at ARS$ 25 pesos to purchase a SUBE card. After completing a short form and paying the fee, you will be all set to set out in Buenos Aires!
